Ok. Let's start with the anwers.
Question 1 - Landmarks
Name the cities in which you will find these landmarks.
a) Eiffel Tower - Paris (20)
b) Golden Gate Bridge - San Francisco (13)
c) Kremlin - Moscow (4)
d) Wailing Wall - Jerusalem (2)
e) Forbidden City - Beijing (2)
Question 2 - Deserts
Name the continent on which you'll find these deserts.
a) Gobi - Asia (12)
b) Kalahari - Africa (8 )
c) Sahara - Africa (15)
d) Colorado - North America (19)
e) Ryn - Africa (3)
Question 3 - Wonders of the Ancient World
Vowels removed. Identify the full name of the wonder.
a) GRTPYRM D F GZ - GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA (15)
b) LGHT HS FLX NDR - LIGHTHOUSE OF ALEXANDRIA (12)
c) MS LMT HL CRNSSS - MAUSOLEUM AT HALICARNASSUS (1)
d) S TTFZS T LYMP - STATUE OF ZEUS AT OLYMPIA (9)
e) HNG NGGR DNS FBBYL N - HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON (17)
I was expecting 20 for the Great Pyramid. However, a few people made the mistake of calling it the Great Pyramids so it was counted as wrong.

Was South Africa counted as wrong too? Should be marked wrong twice for the Sahara? |
